In the beginning of "Dances with Wolves," John Dunbar has stereotypes about the Sioux. Without having ever met a Native American, he believes that they are "savages, beggars, and thieves." Similarly, some of the Sioux believe John Dunbar is untalented, ignorant, and uncoordinated. They learn, however, how to be open-minded and find out that none of their beliefs original beliefs were true.
